When I was young I had two friends who were millwrights and they got on at the powerplant. These were U***n jobs that paid extremely well. The type of place you work at for 40 years. Actually you work 25 years and you just show up and sit in the shop the last 15 years. Forty years and then retire with a nice pension, buy a motor home and go to Arizona in the winter. They got the jobs only because their dad's worked there.

One day they had time on their hands and decided to race forklifts, on an oval track they'd set up in an empty building. Brad went in to turn one too hot and flipped it. Broke his leg. Lost his job. Did not narc on his friend, who - as far as I know - is still on that job 30 years later.
